... i was talking to a friend the other day as the farmer sons and i were going outside in the front. our conversation was soon interrupted due to a little ribbon snake sitting on the picnic table. she made a comment about how she didn't know how i did it with the snakes all around. at this moment, i realized how i have grown. i was dealing with a HUGE snake in the shed daily and able to handle seeing the ribbon snake on the picnic table all with out freaking out. these thoughts have been in my mind since then. pondering how time has changed me. wondering how much i am going to change in the next three years. for what ever reason though i had a dream last night about a copper head and then i went to open the rain barrel for my flower bed and i saw it- a big snake not where i expected! i completely lost it when i saw the gray racer snake (i think that is it's name, i always think of the silver surfer) on the front porch. it was fast, thick and hanging out. the freak out and conversation that followed to this snake that has disappeared into my flower bed was intense (as i visualize the sign for intense). i still have a long way to grow and the time to do it. who knows maybe one day i will touch snake skin, then after that maybe even touch a snake, and from there maybe even hold it. but i'm working on not freaking out hard core for the moment.
til next time,
farmer mom
